HMFGP 2012, THE TWENTY TWELVIEST Options

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

I forget if someone else wanted to do this. Too late now! Unless they want to start their own topic for the group play or something. I don't know.

So yeah. Summer's upon us, so it's that time again. Summer's usually a slow time for video game releases, so what better way to get around that than by playing some old classics? Vote on your favorite Harvest Moon/Rune Factory title and in a few days that'll be the chosen title for everyone to have maximum togetherness in their funtimes. Alternatively, you can just play whatever the heck you want and completely disregard the majority. The only really important thing is to talk about your play experiences, what characters you interacted with, events you happened upon, and so on. Have fun with it!

I'm thinking of trying out Save the Homeland myself. I got it a while back for two bucks but I haven't gotten around to playing it.

And here we go!

Looks awfully muddy in the countryside. Must've been a lot of rain.

So, I don't supposed you can direct me to the farm? I tried looking for a big field, but, well, there's a lot of empty space here...

Oh. Oh. The one with the fence and grass. That'd make sense...

Looks surprisingly cozy.

Holy crap, an old Zenith. In color.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/HMFGPPrologue11.jpg)

Holy crap, I already have hooligans on my lawn. Farmin' life's gonna be tough.

Very unperceptive hooligans.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/HMFGPPrologue12.jpg)

Jeez, now what.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/HMFGPPrologue14.jpg)

She proceeds to ask me a questionnaire. Sure, I'll take him home. But realistically I should probably make sure there's not an owner or mother already around.

Stand beside the trash and talk to passerby about how disgusting people can be instead of taking any action. Clean it up, yeah that.

Blackjack and women. I mean return it of course.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/HMFGPPrologue17.jpg)

Can't imagine why.

It is then unveiled to me, that I am the Hero of Thyme. Reborn through generations to till soil during times others are too lazy to do so themselves.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/HMFGPPrologue13.jpg)

This name will be transcribed in the stories of our people.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/HMFGPPrologue19.jpg)

Killjoy.

The Pawprint Star. The ultimate spaceship designed for ranching. Thus, the epic begins.

edit: First few days of Spring.

Hey, remember how Nami does the weather in Magical Melody? I think Yuri somehow time traveled to be the weather girl here.

Why does he get so mad to learn I run a farm?

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/Spring10.jpg)

Maybe it's a carpenter thing. Like, they just KNOW I'm gonna ask them to DO stuff while so far they've just been living a cushy job pretending to cut the same chunks of lumber day after day.

Gina is apparently the only person who bothered to learn someone was moving in.

Apparently I can just buy an egg for fifty gold instead of paying some ludicrous sum for a chicken. I think I'll just do this and buy feed with the difference as I gain it.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/Spring11.jpg)

I'm one to talk.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/Spring5.jpg)

Only weirdos actually WANT to supply food to the village.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/Spring6.jpg)

WHAT?

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/Spring7.jpg) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/Spring8.jpg)

Then I learned the finer points of littering. I now know where I messed up in the initial questioning. I'm supposed to just chuck random stuff I find into the Goddess Pond. OBVIOUSLY.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/HMFGP/Spring9.jpg)

I get the feeling the Harvest Goddess doesn't really give a crap what I do.

Katie was actually the most interesting person to meet. I was surprised to learn that "Grandpa" has a name. It's also kinda notable that you actually learn someone's age.
